Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Strengths - The staff has remained the same for a year with my child. They are very caring towards my child. Special activities and art projects are always occurring. My child was bitten several times at a previous school and has not been bitten here once. The staff are willing to accomodate my unique needs (dropping off on extra days, I have twin babies so they walk my child to his classroom). My child's behavior during dropoff, pickup, and when he gets home tells me that he is treated VERY well and really enjoys his day there.

Weaknesses - My child has been hurt running across the same carpet several times without any resolution to the issue. My child is frequently picked up with a dirty face. Naptime is only an hour. You must provide your own lunch (which I actually think can be considered a benefit). The facilities are old and the playground is small and shared across the entire school.

Parent #2
used to be a better school.
